Happy Birthday, Morrus! Thanks for all your work here at ENWorld!

This maybe should be in the house rules forum, but I am not a good judge of these things. Anyway... I never let my players just solve a riddle or a puzzle based on a roll. I make them actually solve the puzzle or figure out the riddle. It's more fun that way; I am lucky enough to have a...

Looks like Carcassone is a front runner. Can anyone tell me more about it? I need to sell it to my wife. Do you mean Gutenberg Bible? Aren't the Gideon Bibles the ones you find in every hotel room in the U.S.? I have a copy of each, but I just wanted to make sure. :D And I will check...

Wow! So many games to try. Right now I am leaning toward Risk 2010 or Settlers of Catan (which I am embarrassed to admit I have never played). Pirateer sounds good as well, because it is always fun to say "Arrgh!" This would also be a good chance to game with my wife. She is not into RPG's...

An invaluable resource, to be sure. Thanks very much!

Sorry to dupe other posts. Must master the search function. I am really open to anything. I guess I am looking for something with a little more depth than, say, Risk, but doesn't necessarily take six months to finish (like Axis and Allies can). Something a bit more than just armies battling...

Congratulations! Best of luck getting it published. Are you looking for an academic-type job? I am ABD, just starting on serious dissertation work, so it's always good to hear tales of completion.

I am taking a month or so break from DMing and was looking for some other, non-RPG games to play. Anyone have any good suggestions? I have no real desire to play risk or Axis and Allies, but am open to pretty much anything else. Thanks!

Congrats, man. This certainly should be a good time for you. My 10 year reunion is in August. (I'd like a little of that Geritol, if there is any left). And let me respectfully disagree with those who are saying that this is the pinnacle. I quote Randall "Pink" Floyd from the film "Dazed...

I remember this show! Well, sort of. I remember a sea plane and Indiana Jones type fights/plots. Someone should have a "B TV show" room at GenCon.

I'll just add my vote to the "let her go" category, but only because it sounds as if that's the only option she left open to you. If she would have come to you and the group earlier and explained the problems she was having, then maybe you guys could have worked something out. As it stands, I...

I am reading Martin Buber's I and Thou for the dissertation. Very good -- potentially profound, I think, but not at all organized in a traditional philosophical style of argument, which makes it hard to read, sometimes. Lest anyone accuse me of being too highbrow, I also just got caught up...

I loved Voyagers as well! I remember it fondly. You know, Quantum Leap and Voyagers sound really similar in basic plot, now that I think about it. What was the show with the little person inventor/toymaker? Was that Warrick Davis? Does that count? Does Young Indiana Jones count? Mark is...

for something completely different Before Sunrise (Richard Linklatter film. Talky, romantic, but one of my favorites) Almost Famous Ferris Bueler's(sp) Day Off Igby Goes Down (just watched this this week and liked it a lot. A little depressing). High Noon (Gary Cooper western).

Done. Will there be a cage for fights?

Still planning on being there. However. . . I have an interview tomorrow for a summer graduate assistant job helping new, incoming students transition into the university. It's five weeks -- July 7th to August 8th. It pays REALLY well, and sounds like a worthwhile thing to do. But if I get...

I am excited about Testament. While I doubt I will run a full blown Testament campaign, I am currently working on a Mediterranean type setting. I think the book will be super useful to what I am working on, as well as very interesting to just peruse.

Wasn't Clancey Brown on ER for several episodes? He was dating one of the surgeons or something. And Brian Thompson was on The X-Files as the alien bounty hunter/assassin. Ahhh... Brian Blessed: "Second wave -- DIIIIVE!" edit: looks like Viking Bastard beat me to the X-Files reference

Wow! Sagiro update-o-rama! Good thing I have nothing to do at work today! And, I don't know about your players, but I really enjoyed the giant conversation. Did you use three different giant-voices?

Oh yeah, there was also the time one of my players unhorsed Sir Lancelot in a joust. The player's character was a halfling.
